Sprint Nextel has expanded its existing partnership with MiCTA, an association of more than 19,500 members from higher education, healthcare, libraries, K-12, government and other non-profit organizations in the US that helps identify and resolve common voice, data and video issues and problems for its membership.
Sprint, a MiCTA partner since 1989, is also the association's exclusive provider of wireless services and among its preferred list of partners for wireline services as well.
Under this new expansion, Sprint will now offer 10% discount for students on their rate plans, will waive activation fees for students, additional discounts will be offered for add-on services, including messaging, Vision Pro Pack and other Vision services; and higher education institutions will receive administrative fees from MiCTA to market the program based on new student activations.
Ed Davalos, national director of education sales at Sprint, said: Sprint has a strong business focus on the education vertical and is always looking for simple and innovative ways to offer the best experience to our higher education customers. Our expanded partnership with MiCTA is another testament of our continued commitment to this sector and allows us to extend the reach and visibility of our wireless solutions portfolio to additional universities across the country.
